🎅 The Chief Ded Moroz of Moscow reported that he receives letters from adults asking for help to pay off their mortgages, find jobs, or lower the prices of building materials.

"We read all the correspondence that comes in my name, regardless of the age of the senders, because every person remains a child at heart, even if the requests from adults are, of course, more complex," Santa Claus's words were conveyed by TASS.

🙏 Hang in there, Muscovites, you will definitely get through the rise in prices and interest rates. 🙏

🐻 Today in Russia is a great holiday - Bear Day!

🐻 There are four species of bears in Russia: brown, polar, white-chested, and black. The most common of them is the brown bear, which can be found in many regions of the country, including the Urals, Siberia, and Kamchatka.

🐾 However, each year the bear population is declining. Among the main reasons are poaching and the destruction of the animals' natural habitats. Bear Day aims to raise public awareness of these issues.

👨‍🏫 Artificial Intelligence Learns from Professionals

🚗 Before you is an urban road setting through the eyes of autonomous vehicles. They see not only the scooter rider at the crosswalk but also everything happening in the three lanes of the road, predicting the movement trajectories of vehicles and pedestrians.

🧠 Now, the neural network built into these cars is learning from top-notch drivers who have undergone rigorous selection and a defensive driving course. The artificial intelligence absorbs all their experience. Based on this data, Yandex is enhancing its autonomous vehicles.

📈 Thanks to neural networks, the cars anticipate road conditions, react faster, and avoid emergency situations. In the simulator, it is always possible to test how they will respond to challenging scenarios, including hypothetical ones: for example, a moose suddenly darting onto the road.

📌 The company has been testing autonomous transport since 2017. It is currently being seen in Moscow, Innopolis, and Sirius, and this year a driverless truck even made the journey from the capital to Tula.

🧠 In Russia, Pets Will Be Taught to "Communicate" Through AI

😎At Moscow State University, there are plans to connect dogs to artificial intelligence so they can transmit information to each other. For example, one dog could "tell" another what is written on a sign.

And in the future, they might even learn to communicate with us!

💬🇷🇺 The official representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia, Maria Zakharova, stated that Western countries have fully exposed themselves by failing to express condolences regarding the deaths of Russian journalists.

🇫🇷 This statement was made in the context of the decision taken by participants of the 34th session of the Intergovernmental Council of the International Program for the Development of Communication in Paris, where the report by UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay, noscriptd "Safety of Journalists and the Issue of Impunity for 2022-2023," was not approved but merely acknowledged.

"The scandalous report by UNESCO Director-General Azoulay on the safety of journalists, in which she managed to exclude any mention of the deceased Russian journalists, has NOT BEEN APPROVED," Zakharova wrote.

🙏 She also expressed gratitude to everyone who did not remain indifferent and sent letters in support of their colleagues, as well as those who protested against the neglect of this issue.

📰 It should be noted that the report prepared by the UNESCO Director has caused significant outrage among Russian media and professional journalist organizations due to the lack of information about Russian journalists who have died or been injured while performing their duties over the past two years.

🇷🇺 Russia is confident in itself, feels its righteousness and strength; it has been and will remain united — Putin

🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin noted that the step-by-step program of "United Russia" for the country's development relies on nationwide support. The party faces serious changes and needs to supplement the program with new commitments, building a roadmap for the next 6 years.

💬 What else the head of state stated:

— The time of challenges opens up other opportunities. Russia is developing, the economy is growing, all against the backdrop of unprecedented sanctions in world history;

— No external blackmail or attempts to hinder us will ever succeed. Russia is confident in itself, feels its righteousness and strength;

— Putin emphasized that he expects the party to lead in implementing new national projects;

— The course of "United Russia" reflects the desire to ensure the security of the Motherland, protect historical memory, spirituality, and traditions. We are a multinational and multi-confessional people who have been and will remain united;

— All previously promised data and the people's program from the 2021 elections will be fulfilled. By 2026, major repairs should be completed in more than 7,000 schools, and by 2031, all schools that need repairs will be renovated;

— The agenda for Russia's development has acquired a comprehensive, systemic, and strategic nature for decades to come. The pace achieved allows us to reach national development goals and improve the quality of life in all regions;

— There are still "a wagon and a small cart" of problems; we have no moral right to rest on our laurels; we must continue to fight;

— Achievements of national development goals will be measured not in generalized statistics but in specific sociological indicators. No generalized statistics can replace personal contact, which is the foundation and guarantee of trust from tens of millions of Russians.
